Dear fellow adventurers:
Kept our heads down for months of hard work. We are now thrilled to release the Alpha version of Grimlord and believe me, there are tons of new content to explore! At the same time, we know that a lot of aspects of the game need to be improved. We sincerely invite you to participate in our test. Please click the Request Access button to let us know you want to join in!
We are aiming to build Grimlord fitting our community's preferences.
We will give out the full copy Steam Key of Grimlord to everyone who would provide us with well-considered feedback (content suggestions, content critics, bug reports, and so on and so forth), for appratiating your help on making Grimlord becoming a better game. Your feedbacks are gold to us!
Join our discord to talk to devs, or simply post your thoughts in the
Steam discussion.
we completed the first map of the game—Castle Roar, which is now open for exploration. There is more item supply point. Also, treasure chests are added for players to find legendary weapons and components. Now we have more weapons and weapon parts to be chosen from, and slightly more options to be crafted in the Blacksmith. Expanding the variety of weapons will be our priority after the implementation of progression systems.
We incorporated a climbing system, some hidden places can only be accessed by climbing up walls. It would be fun to strategically flank and assassinate your opponents.
In addition to the undead, human mercenaries have also joined the fight. They are more cunning and more lethal, their movements are unpredictable and their combat tactics are versatile. And each type of human enemy has a unique personality. Some are bolder and will get up in your face as soon as they see you, some are more discreet and favor long-range weapons and vantage points, and some will gang up on you or gradually surround you. Their AI will be much more complex and intricate in later versions.
To reflect a bit of reality when it comes to human enemies, if you hit them in their weak points like exposed necks or gaps in helmets, they will drop dead immediately. So, practice more and master your technics if you want to one-shot them.
Various mechanics and content including talent tree, new boss fights, and new regions, NPCs, and weapon parts are set to be updated in later versions!
Thank you for playing Grimlord, enjoy the carnage!
